Iyse of Memory.

 Why sk ould think of dragging clouds, Of dreary, dragging clouds of gray, When have seen them floating light, Snow mountains blazing soft and bright Of filmy feathers faint and white, On many bygone dayi Why should think of signing winds, Of signing winds that shake the rain, When I've felt breezes fresh and clear That sing forever past my ear. And breaths of summer drifting near Ger clover fields and graini Why should I think of days like this, Of days like this all dark and wet, When I've knowu days so grandly bright So full of freedom and delight, That, though all after-life were night never can forget3

Life's Roses,
Through smiles the roses are climbing,
 Climbing tenderly over her face:

Through smiles the roses are climbing, Climbing tenderly over her face; They gather in beautiful clusters,
 Tnting softly each dimple and space. Her love weaves coloring of roses.
 So changeful the tinting steals OCT, That Pm lost in deep adoration
 Of the roses that bloom at the door. Her eye full of suns scintillations,
 Softly flashes amid her sweet smiles; And countless the roses that cluster,
 Quickly gathering and blooming the while; Her welcome is not m words given,
 Yet it seems from the dear heart to pour. Mid glowing enchantment of roses The roses that bloom at the door. The rose leaves are ceaselessly falling, oo yofSH, so sweetly, and pure; While rosebuds are springing about us, The sweet treasures of home that allure 'Tis true that our cottage is humble,
 In the worlds goods, know, we are poor, But that does rot alter the beauty
 Of the roses that bloom at the door. Yes, our home is humble and lowly;
 By the fields where labor each day, Cheerfuly attending the croppings,i
 That my toll in rare comfort repay; The plants grow and bloom in abundance, To fulness my graneries they store: Yet the charm of it all is the roses,
 That bloom when she comes to the door. follow the blow in the furrow,
 Turning over the rich, mellow earth; While green corn goes waving and flashing, As rejoicing with me in its mirth. The rich soil is teeming with blessings,
 While I'm toiling its rare fruits outpour; Its fulness of treasure surrounds me,
 Mid the roses that bloom at the door. The sunset of evening comes glowing
 With changes of coloring and shade; And filling all space with its beauty,
 Over stream, over meadow and glade. The beauty of heaven in richness,
 Its rare tints of coloring outpour. So brilliant, SO changeful and charming
 With the roses that bloom at the door. Idream of these roses while sleeping,
 They come clustering as angels above; The buds and the flowers of Gods keeping, To be gathered in heaven through love; know that these roses are real,
 That they'll climb and entwine evermore, Min,ling our souls in one being,
 With the charms they have wrought at the
 door,

Over 223, 900 cubic yards of limestone and slate rock has fallen out of the bank of Niagara River, near Horseshoe Falls, on the Canadian side. The mass fell with tremendous crash, which was heard and felt for miles around. The break has considerably changed the ap- peaTance of the bank, and now the dark chasm can be seen behind the Falls from the bank above. The mass of rock which fell was 60 feet wide by over 100 long and TO feet deep. Its fall from the main rock has left perpendicular wall. The tremendous weight of ice which has accumulated during the past three weeks, with the steady frosty weather and low water, was the cause of the break.

A window open slight distance both top and bottom, and chimney draught also open, are the only sure ways of keeping pure air in a sleeping room whose doors are closed.
 A simple remedy for neuralgia is to apply grated horse radlsh prepared, the same as for table use to the temple, when the face or head is affected, or to the wrist when the pain is in the arm or shoulder.
 When one's clothing becomes damp from exposure to the weather, it is best to change it immediately. Rub the skin with dry, hard towel until the body is in glow all over; but if it is impracti- cable to change the garments, exercise moderately so that enough heat may gen. crate in the system to dry the skin and clothing without a chill.
 Apples stewed and sweetened are pleasant to the taste, cooling, nourish- ing and laxative. far superior in many cases to the abominable doses of salts and oils usually given in fever and other diseases. Raw apples and dried apples stewed are better for constipation than liver pills.
 To cure chapped hands take common starch and rub it into fine, smooth powder, put in a clean tin box, and every time the hands are removed from dish water or hot suds, rinse them care fully in clean water and while they are damp, rub pinch of starch over them covering the whole surface.
 A saucerful of shaved ice may be pre- served for twenty four hours, with the thermometer in the room at 90 F., if the following precautions are observed. Put the saucer containing the ice in a sonp- plate and cover it with another. Place the soup plates thus arranged on a good heavy pillow and cover with another pillow, pressing the pillows so that the plates are completely imbedded in them. An old jack plane set deep, is most ex- cellent thing with which to shave ice. It should be turned bottom upward and the ice showed backward and forward over the cutter.

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN.
Hints to Rheuma tics.

If were now to guess at the life his. tories of those matronly ladies who lean as gracefully as they can on their silken umbrellas, should say that their trou- ble, if not hereditary, arose from dietary errors and want of sufficient exercise. They have been busy people, perhaps busy at some kind of business which took up all their time; they did not re- quire exercise, they thought, being al- ways on the move, one way or another with only the walk to and from church on Sunday to count for relaxation of mind. They forgot, or they did not know, that moving around at the duties of business is not exercise in its proper sense; that exercise must be pleasurable to be of any avail; that mind and body must both have change. Probably the digestion began to fail before twingo of rheumatism took place; they had lit. tie appetite for breakfast, except for that cup of tea and toast. They often felt weary before the day was half over tired. emphasize the word ''tired' because this feeling is universal at the outset of chronic rheumatism. Some times their backs ached in so weary a way that even appetite was interfered with, and depression of spirits caused them to take very gloomy views of life, indeed. Cordials would be suggested. An these cordials, what deal of mys- tery they have to account for. Giving but temporary relief, requiring to be ta- ken oftener, and still more often, as the taking of them becomes ahabit, injuring the digestion, producing irritability o1 temper and restless nights, they never fail to increase the troubles they are meant to quell, and shorten life itself.- Casselps Magazine.
